| (MySportsbook) - There has been a lot said this postseason of how the Ottawa Senators have finally learned how to deal with adversity in a playoff situation. Unfortunately, no matter how much negativity they deflect away this spring, they won't come close to the New Jersey Devils in that department. The Devs have seen and felt it all for the past decade, and panic rarely makes its way into their minds. This was on display Tuesday night at the Corel Centre, as New Jersey posted a 4-1 victory to even the East |

| Ottawa, Ontario (MySportsbook) - The New Jersey Devils try to head home with a split tonight when they take on the Ottawa Senators in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals at Corel Centre. Despite a valiant third-period comeback, the Devils were on the wrong end of a 3-2 overtime decision in Saturday's series opener and find themselves trailing for the first time this postseason. Ottawa checking forward Shaun Van Allen provided the heroics, tipping home a pass from Martin Havlat 3:08 into the extra frame. |

| (MySportsbook) - Maybe we've finally heard the last of the Ottawa Senators' past playoff failure. If not, something's wrong. The Sens advanced to their first-ever Eastern Conference final with a dominating 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of their semifinal set on Monday. Maybe the Flyers had emptied the reserve tank in their Game 4 win and had nothing left, but Ottawa nonetheless skated circles around them all night and showed us why they won the Presidents' Trophy during the regular seas |
